But cannot kill the fore within thee burring ;

Letter from Judge Mayer.
Our I'rcriidont Judgo, who Is travel
ing in Etitopo, litis been hciml from.
Tho editor o( Iho Clinton democrat
of last week saya :
Tho following nro extracts from a
private loiter written from ionevA,
.Switzerland, on Iho iiOth April. Sineo
then JuiIl'O Mayor bus rolurnod to
I'uris nticl i1tieed himself under the
enro of a physician for tho treatment
of a local Uilllculty in his system
which is tho main cnuso of his disabil
ity. His L'uneml health bus much
improved sineo ho MX Lock Havon,
and ho has hopes of being relievou oto
Inner i( bio local complaint. When
that is done, or bo is convinced that
it cannot be done, be will no doubt
return to his homo. Ho is in regular
teeclpt of tho Democrat, and, conse
quently, is well informed of matter
at homo. Ho expresses satisfaction
at tho appointment of Judgo Or via.,
who be says has tbo ability to make a
Gtstralo Jttdo. Ho fouls gratified to
know that tho scales of justice nro in
such safo harnlri, and feels easy about
tbo judicial busines ot tbo Ihntrict:
lK,a I iiik.nd: c liavo left Italy,1
full of historical intercHt and associ
ations, but as I shook tho (Inst from
off my foot 1 could say of (ho Italians
as h.oneca ouco saul ol tho uorsicana,

and investirrntod it pretty thoroughly,
saw much to interest tho student of
historv. and. lo ono Dossessintr archteo-
ri , 1 r,
proclivities, an abundant op
portunity is offered to indulge thorn
to tbeir lull Uetit. Hat in oraor
to get along smoothly and rendor
your percginutions like tho descensus
Avernt lat ilis whilst groping among
tbo ruins of the Past, it 18 highly neces
sary that you should possoss a largo
modicum ol credulity anil liavo an
epiglottis suflicionlly capacious to
gulp down without a wliingo all that
you sco and hoar. A skoptio in Romo
would bnvo ns ungracious an 011100 as
tho dovil's attorney who desirod to bo
heard in opposition to tho claims of a
saint wishing to bo cononi.cd. Tho
limits of this letter will not allow mo
lo givo j'ou in nirnxo an account of
all that wo saw and heard, and if I
wcro to retail all tho stories which
wero told us at every old crypt and
church, I would bo ablo to narralo
tales which Baron Munchanson nevor
dreamed of. But ns tho ministers say
and don't do, I will bo brief. Wo
wore prosontod toony numbor of saints
and a greater number of -sinners, saw
relict innumerable, stood upon tho
oxact spot where St. Peter was
crucified, as wo woro told, and saw
several pieces of tho "vera crux."
, Wc visited tho plnco whoro Iho
villa ".Mncii'titis alavisEdilo rogibus"
(.Muctcnas descended from ancient
kings) is said lo liavo stood. Upon it
was built Iho "golden houso" of Nero,
which was subsequently deslroyod
mid upon its ruins woro crocted tho
Bulbs of Titus, tha ruins of which still
remain. You will fine' amidst the ma
jestic ruins und columns and arches
Unit surround you enough to hold you
as in sotno magic spell, Every plnco
recalls somo reminiscence of regal or
iiipcrial splendor, "r.vnry fallen col
umn or gigantic ruin will scorn like a
spectral liunil thrust out lo put buck
tbo shadow on the dial of lime."
Wo riitiio lo Jlonio expecting lo
witness tho imposing pngennti and
ceremonies which aro usually observed
during. Holy Week, but owing to tho
"kilo unpleasantness between iclor
Emmanuel and tho Vopc, tho laltor
lias interdicted nil ceremonies such ns
fero wont to bo celebrated in tho
palmy days of tho Papacy, much to our
regrotand disappointment. Tho l'opo
considers himself a prisoner anil doos
not leuvo tho Vatican. Sinoo Victor
Lmmnnunl has bocomo King of United
Italy, tcmpora mutantur, the principle
of Cavouris beginning to gain ground.
"A freo church in a froo iStalo. After
dolving among Uio rubbish of tho doad
past until wo became musty, wo con-
cludod to do what old satan will never
do leavo Rome. . Wo then ramo to
.... , ,., . FLORENCE,

CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDN1$I)AY, JUNE 21, 1874.
willi tho works and contains the mon
uments of tho greatest mindsof Italy,
and at every turn you will boo some
fresh indication of Italian gonius,--Among
the illustrious raon it has pro
duced aro lanto, Petrarch, Caliloo,
Michael Angolo, Loronzo do Modici,
Amorigo Vespucci and others who
have made it tho repository of somo
of thoir noblest creations. Wo woro
much intorestod in a visit wo mado to
an old library, where are preserved in
excellent condition somo old manu
scripts. Among thoso was ono of
Virgil, of the ourth or fifth centnry,
The environs of Floronco nro very
beautiful, but wo woro prevontod by
the inclomoncy of tho weather from
making any excursions into the sur
rounding country, Having spent a
week very pleunj.ly in Flomiug, wru
struck our touts una pitcnou mem
'., . :'. .: AT VENICE,
a city built npon tho sen, whoro, in its
broad and narrow streets, it is ebbing
and flowing, "and tho salt sea woed
clings to tho marble of hor palaces."
Vonico is built in tho midst of a
crowded cluslor of islets, amounting
in number', to about seventy, and tbo
buildings stand for the most part upon
artificial foundations of piles. Tho
principal of thoso islands is called
Rialto, upon which Shylock is said to
have had bis placo of business, and
whore ho was accustomed to make his
bargains. Here Shakcrvponre gathered
tho malorials with which the Insatiate
avarice of the morchant of Vonico has
boon immortalized. , I inquired after
tho fair Portia, but sho was not at
home. Having boon a groat expositor
01 tho laws, 1 had nn elective atnnity
for her.
Wo stood upon tho famous Bridgo
of Sighs, and heaved several docp ones,
hut for a dillVrent "reason' limn that
which occasioned Iho long' und deep
drawn sighs which woro druwn there
oenturies ago. It seemed strango not
to hear tho sound of a csrriugo or tho
tramping of a horse, but hero you
glido up and down the water streets
in the noiseless gondola. Wo woro
favored with moonlight, and, as some
ono has said, Vonico, iiko a failed
beauty, shows better by candle light.
From Venice we came to
MILAN
to sco what the Milancso regard ait
the eighth wonder of tho world tho
Cathedral. It is certainly ono of the
most impressive ecclesiastical edifices
that wo have seen, and wo woro much
more pleased with it than St. Peter's
at Romo. To attempt tu describe tho
rich profusion of ornaments, spires,
statues, pinnacles of Gothic fretwork
winch everywhere abounds, would bo
impossible within tho limits of this
letter, and oven if possiblo 1 would ho
averse to attempt it. From, Milan wo
camo to
liENKVA,
situated in a canton ol Switzerland
only l.r miles long by as many broad,
so limited in extent that Voltaire mado
use of his well known sarcasm, "When
I shako my wig I powdur (t lio whole
Republic" Vol, although so insig
nificant in territorial cxlotit, it has
enacted an important part iu tho his
tory of Intellectual and religious pro
gress. o visited tho church and
saw tho pulpit and chair which wcro
used by Calvin and Irom winch with
his nnbotindod '.on I and energy ho pro
claimed and maintained tho principles
of tho reformation. Wo also saw tho
houso whoro the great roformor lived
and diod. To go to the othor oxtrcmo,
and by way of a sharp contrast, wo
drovo five miles lo a placo called Fcr
dox, whoro Voltairo built for himself
a fi no chateau and whore aro scvoral
rooms containing reminiscences. Ad
joining tho chateau is a chapel erected
by him, over tho portal ot which is
tho ostentations inscription, Doo Eroxit
Voltairo." Voltairo erectod it to God.
Wo intend to go from hero to Paris in
order thnt 1 may soo my physician
tliero. I am improving, 1 think, and
do nolintond toroturn until my health
is restored or its restoration declared
lo bo impossible. C. A. M.
Party Roiin fries. Congressman
Beck, of Kentucky, a Democrat and
representing Honry Clay's district,
charges homo upon Senator Conkling
complicity with Sanborn, and in a
recent speoch states:
Tho Custom Houso Ring Ihere Is
supported bv the samo Administration,
of which that Senator is a lending
man, and it nsos the money thus stolen
from merchants In order to carry on
the party machinery. I insist that
this third section should be struck out
of tho bill as perpolualing a systom
which ought not to exist lor one
moment. Tho Custom houses bnvo
become dene of corruption, and aro
kept up on account of their political
power to coi.trol primary elections,

An Hour of Terror. ,
Thero arrived in this city "Friday

who met with a thrilling adventure
about six miles east of tho junction

ho started to walk down on tho rail

in tho cvenin;; to mnko it up. vyiiiio
crossing tho tracks whoro ft switch

got his loot caught fast in a "frog,"
and his efforts to extricate it wero of
no avail, lio bad on n stout Lout, and
It fitted so closely over the instep that
ho could not druw hm foot out. In

At length he could linrdly move
his leg lor tho pain, nnd ho found
that ho must either bo run ovor
by tho next pushing truin or make
somo ono understand his situation.
Ho shouted himself hoarse, but no
one camo. Tho nearest houso was
half a milo nwuy, and it tho farmer
heard tbo wild calls for help ho gavo
thorn no attention. After tho man
had boon a prisoner for upward of an
hour bo heard tho whisllo of a down
freight train. It was yet a long way
ofT, and ho bad a little timo to think,
llo had a match-box in his poekot,
papers in his bundle, mid Iho idea
came lo him losignul the I rain. Tear
ing tho paper oft his bundle and gel
ling at a number of letters, bo rolled
them into u heap, and for fear Iho
flame would die out too suddenly, ho
added two fiannol shirts from tho bun
dle. Tho bundle was then mado fast
to the ond ol bis walking slick, matches
produced, and ho waited until tho head
light of tho locomotive should appear
up tho track.
It finally greeted his vision, look
ing liko a bright whilo slur, as it glis
tenod far up tho track. Tho rumble
of tho train grow louder, tho star grow
larger and brighter, lie struck his
match, Iho flunio blu.od up brightly,
but as bo moved it toward tho bundle
a little gust of wind blew it out. Was
thero tune yctf Ip tho truck ho
could boar tho thunder ol a bundled
heavy wheels, ami the great light of
tho locomotive glared at him liko tho
fiery cyo of somo wild beast. Another
mulch, an instant of fear and doubt,
and then tho paper blazed tip and
curled over and around ihn bundle
and swayed right and left with the
night wind, lis waved tho signal of
fire back and forth, anil just when ho
was ready to believe that death under
tho wheels was corlain ho heard the
whisllo for brakes.
Ho could hoar tho wheels grinding
and groaning, tho hiss of steam as tho
engineer threw back his lover, and
thou the heavy train camo to a slop
with tho great light shining down
upon him, paling his dying signal.

A Wonderful River.
Tho Amazon is tho most volumin

f ass any given point cvory second.
loi n in l.ako l.atiricoclia, among tho
Andes of Peru, tho main trunk
runs northerly for fivo hundred miles
in a continuous soriea of rapids, and
then, Irom tho frontiers or Lucador, it
flows easterly twonty-fivo hundred
miles across Iho equatorial plain of
tho continent. Tho avcrago current
of the groat river in ils passago through
lirnr.il is thrco miles an hour. At
Tabotinga, two thousand miles from
its mouth, tho width is n mile and a
half, with a depth of eleven fathoms ;
nt tho entrnnco of tho Muderia, it is
thrco miles wide, aud below Sualaren
it is ten. Tho tributaries nro in keep
ing with Ibis colossal trunk. In fact,
tho Amnzon is a great river. It fins
twclvo ullluenls over a thousand miles
long, tho largest tho M rider ia equal
ing lliu Arkmiann ciitoi inrr tho Amo
eon nino hundred miles from ils mouth.
Besides these ond a host of minor
tributaries thoro is a wonderful not
work of natural canals alongside of
tho mninrivor and joining tlio tribu
taries, called t((7t'iiin paranast nnd
tiro. Thoso by-paths aro ot immense
advantage for intercommunication.
Ihcso aro characteristic ol tho coun
try, and aro so numerous thnt Ama
zonia is truly a cluster of islands. Al
together, this inland or fresh water
sea drains a territory ol two million
sqnnro miles, reaching from tbo Andes
to tbo Atlantic and throwing out ils
arms to tho Orinoco and Paraguay.
On the lower Amazon tho annual rise
reaches it mnximitm in December,
tho difTorenco ol Iho level being about
threo feet.
No othor river runs in so deep a
channel lo so great n distance. No
othor river can furnish over six thou
sand miles ol continuous navigation for
largo vossols. For two thousand miles
from its mouth tho main stream has
not loss than seven fathoms of wutor;
and not a fall interrupts, navigation
for twonty-flvo hundred miles. Tho

A Turkish Weddingv ? '
. A correspondent of tho , Alta Cati.
fornia gives a grnphin description of a
Turkish wodding to which she was
admiltod. Tbo brido was dressed in
whilo Bilk, brocadod with silver and
ncurls, and around her , waist was a
belt containing a fortuno in prcnious
stones. Her cheeks wcro pain toil a
deep crimson laid on in a heart shspo,
and another heart was painted on the
chin, tho rest of tho foco white as a
luminous eosmetic could make it.
Tbo ryebrows were painted, jntuneuly
black; they met, and Were ' stretched
lo tho temples. Her fingers wcra
dyed deop crimson, and her long black
hair was hru'ded full of littlo jingling
coins. Her littlo feet were shod in
velvet slippers' embroidered " with
pearls, and she woro greut diamond
ear rings. Alter driukiuir . oofToe,
which the writor wonld fain immor
talize, it was so very precious, and
gulping down somo rare Turkish bon
bons mixed with pasto and paregoric,
they inspected tho trosseau of tho
brido. Tlie chief priest who performed
the corcmony was blazing with jowols,
and woro a costly mitre. -Ho kept
the poor littlo brido waiting threo
whole hours whilo bo . was attending
another wodding, but tho people seem
ed to bear tho delay wilb putieoco.
The brido was rather under tbo ordi-'
nary height, and iho bridegroom a
very tall man, and thoy were obliged
to stand with thoir foreheads touching
each other during tho entire coremony
which took a whole hour. After tha
ceremony tho brido wa plated on a
hick chair, and tho bridegroom camo
forward with a richly trimmed cushion
bearing tho bridul presents a watch
and chain, a diamond broocb, ear
rings, necklaces, and bracelets, ana a
largo knitted purso filled with gold.
The bridegroom parted the great voil
which hung over tho now wifo, and
adorned her with tho jewels. - Then
sbo was lifted by mon and seated
aslrido a small barrel of wino, and tho
feast commenced. She was obliged
to sit thero till all tho wine was drank
out of the barrol, which was nearly
two hours. She look tired ecough,
for thoy gavo hor nothing to eat, and
it was daylight before the feast was
ended, and tho brido borne away. .
When Men Cease to be Revengeful
remaps Dogs win.
A littlo dog belonging to a gentle
man, residing ncarSlony Brook, Long
Island, was in Iho habit of following
his muster's wood-wagon to the land
ing, somo threo milos distant. Ono
day ho was set upon and roughly han
dled by a lurgo dog belonging to a res
ident in tbo next village. The next
day, though lamo, soro and bruised,
tho littlo dog persisted in accompany
ing tho wood-wagon again. - Wbon
the wagon started, tho largo farm dog
was found to bo moving along quietly
under it. He was nover known to ac
company the wagon team beforo. Tho
teamster attempted to urivo nioi uuck,
but ho refused to return. Tho littlo
dog led the way, limping and brooding
over his wrongs, llo was also con
templating the sweetness ot revenge,
and glouting over its near accomplish
ment. hen ho reached too piaco
whero he bad received his ill trculment
tho day before, ho limped up to whero
his enemy lay basking In the sun in
tho front yard, and snapped and snarl
ed through tho pickets in a most tan
talizing manner. Thinking lo repeal
tho chastisement of tho day before, the
villugo dog leaped oyer tho fence, but
only to oncottntor the large farm dog
who hnd boon watching the proceed
ings from nndor tho slow-moving wag
on, and who now enmo rushing to the
rescue. Tho vtllngo dog was noarly
killed beforo they could bo separated.
Tho large farm dog left tho party after
tho fight nnd roturncd home, lie had
como only for tho pnrpose of aiding
bis little lncnd to obtain rovongo. xno
littlo wrotch was almost human in bis
airs of triumph, and in his expressions
of gratifiod malico. By what process,
think you, did tho little dog com

his big canine friend this woll con

If a mistnko should occur in tho com
